Where to enter QBI Carryforward loss in Turbo Tax Premier 2024

Last year's return was done by an accountant, so that 2023 Return was showing a QBI Carryforward Loss, I can't find where/how to enter prior year that value so it doesn't get lost in the future. My business didn't have activity in 2024 so it will be all zeroes, but I am think I might have some activity this year and would like to carry the loss to be used against the business income later.

To clarify, what business are you reporting (with no income) using TurboTax Premier?

Usually QBI carryover is entered in that section of the software.
